adf - ndb inoperative

[norco1]

the adf  and ndb tuning  would not operate after switching on. somehow the signal isn't
recognized.  please advise.

How far from the beacon were you?

TSC.

Are you listening to it, as well as looking at the AF? Positive you have the right frequency dialed in?

I can't tell from the original post whether this happens in all aircraft or just a few.

If it's just a few it's likely due to a bad or missing entry in the "Radios" section of individual aircraft.cfg files.

Every aircraft.cfg file should have this line:

Code: Select all

[Radios] ...
Adf.1=1

my complete entry for a two-COM/two-NAV radio aircraft (this should fix your NDB problem) is:

Code: Select all

[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 1, 1
Nav.2=1, 1, 0
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

Write back if you are not familiar with editing aircraft.cfg files, because you can easily botch things up if you don't do it carefully.
